“Why do we have to leave quietly?” Ling Hui’er widened her eyes “We haven’t done anything wrong! Is it really necessary for us to have to sneak around like that?”

“Hui’er, we’re not at Regal Pill Palace any Su chuckled wryly “We can’t afford to be easily noticeable It’syou when you were little… if your sister were here, you wouldn’t even think twice about listening to her”

Ling Hui’er giggled “Daddy, if you were as fierce as sister is, hoould I be able to live with the both of you?” Both of them knew that they couldn’t stay in the inn withoutthat could be done Ling Su had no better solution than to pack his bags and attempt to sneak out They weren’t too far from the inn when a pair of eyes around the corner spotted the into the darkness Ling Su was a well-traveled man and had a wealth of coood in these situations Sensing so Hui’er towards the opposite direction and o this way”

Though Ling Hui’er was fairly obtuse, her father’s guarded watchfulness reined in her whimsical nature in the heat of the moment She followed closely behind hied fro Su hastily pulled Ling Hui’er to the side of the road, preparing to let theet of the horses, as the steeds and their riders scattered upon reaching the Ling father and daughter duo’s side, encircling the pair His face tensing, Ling Su growled in a low voice, “Friends, we do not know each other Why are you blocking the road?”

“Hahaha, you don’t know us, eh? So you don’t re money from us, old fart? You’ve evaded us for these past few er!”
